Curriculum Construction - Week 7 - Class Notes
Denise wasn’t there so the CAs Molly and Stephanie led the class very well.
We did a Jigsaw exercise where the class was divided into their preassigned roles/lenses we did the readings with. The roles were:
- Expert teacher
- Novice teacher
- Parent with a high performing student
- Parent with a low performing student
- School principle (my role)
- School board member
After feeding off of each other about the issues, stances, and solutions we went into the simulation or role playing group, where one of each role was present.
During the second half of the class we split into our Project Groups do have some time to get organized and define the next steps for the Curriculum Redesign Final Project.
We split the work like this:
(Lucas) - Rationale / Context TODO: Review feedback and update
(Lucas) - Goals TODO: Review feedback and update
(Lisa & Mohamad) Learning Activities TODO: Do the “filtering process” → Updated Syllabus TODO: Come up with the key learning activities
(Celine) Assessment TODO: Figure out assessment at every level
(All) Process Log (Why) TODO: Take photos and sum up notes
Some useful handouts:
